10. He's begrudged and exaggerated every ounce of US support and aid to Ukraine, which is on we Europeans' doorstep.

He's told us the war with Russia isn't the US's problem because it's an ocean away.

He's profiteered shamelessly from sales of arms to Ukraine via the European and other partners, and he wants to carry on profiteering as Europe rearms in the face of dire threats from the Russian tyrant pal he's gladhanded and encouraged.

He's bellyached at length because we want to make our own armaments instead, so at least the money sloshes around in our economies, not his, and we don't have to worry so much about his next tantrum.

He's scorned the lives we lost foolishly and loyally supporting previous US adventurism in the Middle East.

Now he expects us to wholeheartedly pile in on a lunatic war of choice that will bring no benefits to anyone except his pals in the MIC, and marginally Putin at the moment, and open ourselves to probably a decade or more of reprisals, increased numbers of refugees, and escalated oil and gas prices, etc.

I hope Churchill haunts his every sleeping and waking moment, the boozy old bastard.
